1. when a white bottled, blue lid-ed, shampoo tells you that it will make your hair 100% frizz-free, it's a total lie.

2. i know this vintage radio flyer was so last week; i can't help but love looking at that tiny boy hand with still sunken in knuckles.  it's only half as wide as the seat.  one day, they will be man hands, hairy and holding onto a girl's hand that is not mommy's.  precisely why i'm treasuring this, now.  : )

3. in case i forget that i do live in a beautiful place, this reminds me.

4. i was born and raised in the former chicken capital of the world in northern california.  the farms are a plenty there right along with the rolling hills.  now that i have little kids that want to go pumpkin picking, i've been interested in farms around here.  and let me tell you, they are interesting.  

we entered a large grassy area that was filled with what seemed to be an endless amount of boxes with small garage-like doors, some spare car parts scattered about, a refrigerator freezer sprawled open; eaten alive with rust, barrels of something, and then you'd see a random horse gallop by.  or a donkey.  or an albino donkey.  or two.  

and then there were cages of chickens.  the kids got a kick out of them.

this is the hayride part which is equally as weird as the random animal/storage field...

you go on a two minute long hayride to an area with about twenty-five cows, some had diseases pouring out of their eyes, the cows come right up to your face and you are supposed to hold out a cow treat.  their tongues are as long as the mississippi and tend not only to get their treats but also you.  even Hunter was grossed out.

all that for only $10.  what a bargain.

5. i'm now reading this and after only getting to chapter four, i am convinced it is going to be a really good book, to remind me what it means to understand that salvation is from Christ alone and depends nothing on my own merits.  we can forget that in all of our "doing." 

6. when you encounter a yellow door, what better thing is there to do than take a picture with it?  the whole experience was almost worth the twenty bug bites i got... now that the weather is slightly cooler the bugs are in full swing here in mosquito central.  

7. change is coming this way.  you will see it soon.  my lips are sealed until soon arrives.
